Don't Be a Hater

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has a 56 percent approval rating among non-whites in his state, courted African-American voters at a March 12 town hall meeting. "The purpose of spending this time together is it becomes harder to hate up close," he said, adding, "We all have our great successes and our disappointments. And as we get to know each other, it becomes a lot harder then to yell and scream at each other."
